While there are countless possibilities that you could try, we've scoured the Lands Between to find some of the best Elden Ring builds around. Below, you'll find 10 builds that each excel in different areas. We've got builds for each of the 5 main damage-based attributes (Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, and Arcane), as well as some outstanding combo builds that combine certain stats.</p> <p>For each build, we break down the required weapons and stats that you'll need, as well as the main stats to focus on as you continue to level up. We also recommend a <a href="/web/20220507083838/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-best-class">starting class</a>, but this isn't too much of a problem. Classes are more of a starting guideline in Elden Ring, so they're all malleable enough bend into your preferred playstyle - it might just take a few extra levels to get there.</p> <p>We'll then go on to explain what makes the build so strong, explaining the key tactics, skills, and items that you can use to destroy your enemies and forge your path to becoming Elden Lord.</p> <hr> <figure> <a data-lightbox="true" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-blasphemous-blade-build.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-blasphemous-blade-build.jpg" target="_blank"> <img alt="Elden Ring player holding up the Blasphemous Blade beneath a starry sky" class="content_image" height="388" loading="lazy" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-blasphemous-blade-build.jpg/BROK/resize/690%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-blasphemous-blade-build.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-blasphemous-blade-build.jpg/BROK/resize/690%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-blasphemous-blade-build.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-blasphemous-blade-build.jpg/BROK/resize/1380%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-blasphemous-blade-build.jpg 2x" width="690"></a> <figcaption></figcaption> </figure> <h2 id="section-1">Strength & Faith build: Blasphemous Blade</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Recommended starting class:</strong> Confessor</li> <li><strong>Required attributes:</strong> 22 Strength, 15 Dexterity, and 21 Faith</li> <li><strong>Key attributes:</strong> Strength and Faith</li> <li><strong>Weapon:</strong> Blasphemous Blade</li> </ul> <p>The <strong>Blasphemous Blade</strong> is a greatsword with a truly exceptional skill. When you use <strong>Taker's Flame</strong>, it allows you to regain health with each hit, ensuring that you can always bounce back during a fight. Whether you're in a gruelling boss encounter or clearing mobs in a dungeon, Taker's Flame will get you back to full health with ease and deal plenty of damage to surrounding enemies. The Blasphemous Blade scales with <strong>Strength and Faith</strong>, so you should focus on these attributes as you level up.</p> <p>Strength and Faith are an odd combination that you may not see often, but they work together perfectly for this build. Since the Blasphemous Blade scales with both, you can rapidly increase your damage and start dealing massive damage with each melee strike. To get a headstart on this build, we recommend using the <strong>Confessor</strong>, as they start with a good spread of points between Strength and Faith.</p> <p>Since this build is based on the weapon skill, we recommend using the <strong>Carian Filigreed Crest</strong> and <strong>Shard of Alexander</strong> to lower the FP cost of Taker's Flame and make it do more damage.</p> <p>Check out more about this build with our <a href="/web/20220507083838/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-blasphemous-blade-build">dedicated Blasphemous Blade build guide</a>.</p> <hr> <figure> <a data-lightbox="true" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-sword-of-night-and-flame.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-sword-of-night-and-flame.jpg" target="_blank"> <img alt="Elden Ring player blasting Comet Azur from the Sword of Night and Flames" class="content_image" height="388" loading="lazy" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-sword-of-night-and-flame.jpg/BROK/resize/690%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-sword-of-night-and-flame.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-sword-of-night-and-flame.jpg/BROK/resize/690%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-sword-of-night-and-flame.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-sword-of-night-and-flame.jpg/BROK/resize/1380%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-sword-of-night-and-flame.jpg 2x" width="690"></a> <figcaption></figcaption> </figure> <h2 id="section-2">Strength & Intelligence build: Sword of Night and Flame</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Recommended starting class:</strong> Confessor</li> <li><strong>Required attributes:</strong> 12 Strength, 12 Dexterity, 24 Intelligence, and 24 Faith</li> <li><strong>Key attributes:</strong> Strength and Intelligence</li> <li><strong>Weapon:</strong> Blasphemous Blade</li> </ul> <p>If you're looking for another melee build that blends with magic, focusing on <strong>Strength and Intelligence</strong> will allow you to unlock the powerful potential of the <strong>Sword of Night and Flame</strong>. This is a weapon that you can use to cast two spells: <strong>Comet Azur</strong> and <strong>Flame Sweep</strong>. While Flame Sweep is strong, Comet Azur is where the Sword of Night and Flame really excels. It blasts cosmic energy out of the tip of the blade, which will effortlessly blitz through most bosses.</p> <p>To use this weapon, you need to reach 12 with Strength and Dexterity and 24 with Intelligence and Faith. However, after reaching these minimum requirements, we recommend focusing solely on Strength and Intelligence, as this will increase your physical attack damage and the magic damage dealt with the Comet Azur spell.</p> <p>When you pair the Sword of Night and Flame's Comet Azur with the <strong>Carian Filigreed Crest</strong>, a <a href="/web/20220507083838/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-talisman-locations">talisman</a> that decreases the FP cost of weapon skills, you can use the spell consistently without rapidly burning through your mana pool. This means you can deal plenty of damage before needing to chug an FP potion and proves devastating against almost every boss.</p> <p>You can learn more about this with our <a href="/web/20220507083838/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-sword-of-night-and-flame-build">dedicated Sword of Night and Flame build guide</a>.</p> <hr> <figure> <a data-lightbox="true" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-weapons-sacred-relic.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-weapons-sacred-relic.jpg" target="_blank"> <img alt="Left: an illustration of the Sacred Relic from Elden Ring.

If you take the Elden Remembrance to Enia at the Roundtable Hold, you can exchange it for the <strong>Sacred Relic Sword</strong>. This is a strong greatsword that comes with an exceptional weapon skill: <strong>Wave of Gold</strong>.</p> <p>When you use Wave of Gold, it unleashes a huge wave of holy light that deals massive damage to any enemies in front of your player. As this wave travels, it expands to catch more enemies, so it will rip through groups of enemies with ease. This skill got even better in patch 1.04, as it now has a lower FP cost and casts faster. While FromSoftware may tweak these stats further in future patches, the Sacred Relic Sword is currently one of the <a href="/web/20220507083838/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-best-weapons">best weapons in Elden Ring</a>.</p> <p>Focusing on <strong>Dexterity and Faith</strong> will increase the damage of your sword attacks and Wave of Gold, but you can make this build even better with certain items. The <strong>Carian Filigreed Crest</strong> talisman and <strong>Ash-of-War Scarab</strong> helmet will lower the FP cost of Wave of Gold even further, making it incredibly cheap to cast. Combine these with the <strong>Shard of Alexander</strong> talisman, which increases the damage of weapon skills, to create a dominant Dexterity/Faith build that effortlessly shreds even the toughest enemies in the Lands Between.</p> <hr> <figure> <a data-lightbox="true" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-rivers-of-blood.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-rivers-of-blood.jpg" target="_blank"> <img alt="Elden Ring player swinging the Rivers of Blood katana over the Erdtree-Gazing Hill" class="content_image" height="388" loading="lazy" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-rivers-of-blood.jpg/BROK/resize/690%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-rivers-of-blood.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-rivers-of-blood.jpg/BROK/resize/690%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-rivers-of-blood.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-rivers-of-blood.jpg/BROK/resize/1380%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-rivers-of-blood.jpg 2x" width="690"></a> <figcaption></figcaption> </figure> <h2 id="section-4">Arcane & Dexterity build: Rivers of Blood</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Recommended starting class:</strong> Bandit</li> <li><strong>Required attributes:</strong> 12 Strength, 18 Dexterity, and 20 Arcane</li> <li><strong>Key attributes:</strong> Dexterity and Arcane</li> <li><strong>Weapon:</strong> Rivers of Blood</li> </ul> <p><strong>Rivers of Blood</strong> is undoubtedly the best weapon in Elden Ring as the weapon skill, <strong>Corpse Piler</strong>, allows you to unleash a flurry of slashes that rapidly inflict the bleed effect on an enemy. With the huge damage potential of this skill, Rivers of Blood has become an infamous weapon that pops up in almost every PvP duel.</p> <p><strong>Arcane and Dexterity</strong> are the most important stats here, and leveling these really allows you to unlock the full potential of this build. As your melee damage increases, you will find that Rivers of Blood slices through foes with incredible ease. The only downside to this build is the location of Rivers of Blood, as it is found in the Church of Repose, an area in the late-game Mountaintops of the Giants region.</p> <p>Since Corpse Piler deals a string of melee hits, you can use the <strong>Rotten Winged Sword Insignia</strong> talisman to make this build ridiculously powerful. This makes each hit with Corpse Piler deal more damage, ensuring an easy kill on most enemies.</p> <p>You can learn more about this build with our <a href="/web/20220507083838/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-bleed-rivers-of-blood-build">dedicated Rivers of Blood build guide</a>.</p> <hr> <figure> <a data-lightbox="true" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-weapons-brick-hammer.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-weapons-brick-hammer.jpg" target="_blank"> <img alt="Left: an illustration of the Brick Hammer from Elden Ring.

Instead, the Brick Hammer is an exceptional pick for any <strong>Strength</strong> build, as it will crush most foes in just a couple of hits. As you level up and raise your Strength, upgrade the Brick Hammer, and unlock some important buffs, you’ll create an unstoppable build that deals thousands of points of melee damage with each hit.</p> <p>The buffs are the most important part of this build, as they allow you to massively increase your melee damage. The <strong>Flame Grant Me Strength</strong> incantation is an Elden Ring classic that boosts physical attack power, so it’s an obvious starting point for boosting damage. This does mean you’ll need a seal in your off-hand. Quickly use this to cast the incantation and then swap back to your Brick Hammer and <a href="/web/20220507083838/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-how-to-two-hand">two-hand</a> it to raise your damage even further.</p> <p><strong>Royal Knight’s Resolve</strong> is another key buff that’ll make this Brick Hammer build excel. This is an Ash of War that you can attach to the Brick Hammer that, when activated, boosts the damage of your next hit by a whopping 80%. This is crucial in tough boss fights, as you can use Royal Knight’s Resolve and then unleash a powerful jump attack to deal huge damage.</p> <p>Since this build is all about maximising physical damage, you can also use <a href="/web/20220507083838/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-great-runes-divine-towers">Godrick’s Great Rune</a> and a range of talismans to raise your Strength even further. When all of these boosts come together, you’ll have an unstoppable Strength build that unleashes hell with every hit. Even better, the Brick Hammer is great at staggering enemies, making them vulnerable to easy follow-up attacks that'll give you a significant advantage.</p> <p>You can learn more with our <a href="/web/20220507083838/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/best-elden-ring-strength-build">dedicated Elden Ring Strength build guide</a>.</p> <hr> <figure> <a data-lightbox="true" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-weapons-bloodhound-fang.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-weapons-bloodhound-fang.jpg" target="_blank"> <img alt="Left: an illustration of Bloodhound's Fang from Elden Ring.

For this build, you should dual-wield the <strong>Bloodhound’s Fang</strong> blade with the <strong>Bloodhound Claws</strong> so that you have a balance between fast and powerful attacks. While these weapons both require some Strength to wield, we recommend focusing on Dexterity after meeting the requirements stated above, as they scale better and will deal more damage with Dexterity.</p> <p>To buff this build even further, you should equip the <strong>Claw Talisman</strong> and <strong>Rotten Winged Sword Insignia</strong>. These talismans will increase your jump attack and consecutive hit damage respectively, which really makes this build excel. You’ll also want to track down <strong>Flame Grant Me Strength</strong> so that you can quickly cast it from your offhand to boost physical damage before swapping to your Bloodhound's Claws.</p> <p>With all of the above, you can run into any fight and close the distance with a powerful jump attack from the Bloodhound’s Fang, following up shortly after with a few quick strikes from the Bloodhound’s Claws. If these attacks don’t bring down the enemy straight away, they’ll build up the bleed effect and deal an incredible amount of extra damage to secure the kill.</p> <p>You can learn more with our <a href="/web/20220507083838/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/best-elden-ring-dexterity-build">dedicated Elden Ring Dexterity build guide</a>.</p> <hr> <figure> <a data-lightbox="true" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-best-spells.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-best-spells.jpg" target="_blank"> <img alt="Elden Ring sorcerer fighting against a troll and some soldiers at Stormgate" class="content_image" height="388" loading="lazy" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-best-spells.jpg/BROK/resize/690%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-best-spells.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-best-spells.jpg/BROK/resize/690%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-best-spells.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220507083838im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-best-spells.jpg/BROK/resize/1380%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/elden-ring-best-spells.jpg 2x" width="690"></a> <figcaption></figcaption> </figure> <h2 id="section-7">Best Elden Ring Intelligence build: Battlemage</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Recommended starting class:</strong> Astrologer</li> <li><strong>Required attributes:</strong> 10 Strength, 17 Dexterity, 52 Intelligence</li> <li><strong>Key attributes:</strong> Intelligence, Mind</li> <li><strong>Weapon:</strong> Wing of Astel, Lusat’s Glintstone Staff</li> </ul> <p>When you think magic, you probably think of the glass-cannon wizard who dies in just a few hits. In Elden Ring, that doesn’t have to be the case. With this Elden Ring battlemage build, we’ll offer a heavy-Intelligence build that dual wields <strong>Lusat’s Glintstone Staff</strong> with the incredible <strong>Wing of Astel</strong> sword to deal devastating amounts of damage at any range.</p> <p>With this build, the <strong>Intelligence</strong> stat will be your main focus, but you’ll need 10 points in Strength and 17 in Dexterity to wield the weapons mentioned above. After this, you can dump points into Intelligence and increase damage with both weapons.</p> <p>Since both weapons deal magic damage, you can then apply a range of magic buffs to substantially improve both your melee and ranged options. These include the <strong>Terra Magica</strong> sorcery, which places a rune on the floor that you can stand in to increase magic damage, and the <strong>Marika’s Soreseal</strong>, which raises your Intelligence by 5 levels (as well as Faith, Mind, and Arcane). You can boost your spells further with the <strong>Graven-Mass Talisman</strong> and <strong>Radagon Icon</strong>, which increase sorcery damage and shorten spell casting time respectively.</p> <p>For the actual spells that you should equip, there are countless options available. <strong>Adula's Moonblade</strong> is an excellent melee spell that inflicts frostbite, while <strong>Comet Azur</strong> and <strong>Rock Sling</strong> are both strong ranged options. Comet Azur is especially good for tearing through bosses, while Rock Sling deals strike damage that will stagger most enemies.

When combined with the <strong>Dragon Communion Seal</strong>, these spells will deal even more damage, ensuring that you can secure an easy kill on most bosses.</p> <p>Arcane and Faith are the most important attributes here, as they will allow you to use the seal and spells that we mentioned above. You should also put some points into your <strong>Mind</strong> stat, as some of these draconic spells are rather costly. If that all sounds remarkably simple, that's because it is. This Elden Ring Faith build burns through enemies in seconds and is one of the easiest to put together, so it's perfect for fledgling spellcasters and master mages alike.</p> <p>Since this build focuses on incantations, you'll want to boost your FP using the <strong>Cerulean Amber Medallion</strong> and <strong>Marika's Soreseal</strong>.

However, compared to the Dexterity-based Bloodhound and Rivers of Blood builds above, this build focuses almost entirely on <strong>Arcane</strong>, requiring just 24 Strength and 14 Dexterity. This is because it uses <strong>Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear</strong>, a weapon that you can get after defeating <a href="/web/20220507083838/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/elden-ring-mohg-lord-of-blood">Mohg, Lord of Blood</a>.</p> <p>Since Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear scales with Arcane, that should be your main stat for this build.
